The Gifts of Spring by Bonnie Marris ~ Today Bonnie Marris is well known for her heartwarming portrayals of domestic animals dogs and horses in particular-but her popularity in limited edition fine art prints began with her remarkable wildlife images.  Over the years she has closely studied and chronicled the lives of North American buffalo herds.  Her sold out prints, To Stand and Endure and New Beginnings, dramatically revealed the buffalo's will to survive, whether facing the harshness of winter or the aftermath of Yellowstone's devastating fires.

Now, Marris brings us The Gifts of Spring, that fleeting time when newly born calves wobble on untried legs, sunshine abounds and wildflowers riotously color the hillsides.  "I can't think of any animal that better represents the grandeur of nature out west," Marris says.  "The massiveness of the buffalo reflects the vastness of the sky and landscape.  The buffalo and the west are equally wild and enduring and spring brings out the best in both of them.
